I've always enjoyed macaroni and cheese. Since my divorce, I've eaten it on many occasions, including my birthday. It's an easy-to-fix dish that's inexpensive and a delicious complement to any cocktail.

Mix yourself a nice big cool one and throw it down the hatch just to warm up your old cooking muscles. Mix another and look around for some nuts or pretzels or something to snack on while you enjoy your cocktails and look forward to the tastes ahead. Cue up another drink as soon as you've drained number two and number three. Try something fancy, like a gin fizz. Take your time with this one. Savor the flavor, as they say. Next, hunt around for a saucepan. If I also locate the wooden spoons, I'll have two Martinis. They help me concentrate on my cooking, and they give me the strength to look around for the macaroni box. Your bottle should be just about drained now. Polish it off, throw the macaroni in the pan and turn on the heat. Run to the liquor store and pick up another bottle of gin. By the time you get home the macaroni and cheese will be done. If you like your macaroni and cheese a little crunchy, stop at the tavern on the way home and chug a beer or two.
